“…In the current study, an progressive approach was proposed, similar to the model based approaches; the model was generated by the system itself and used as the initial model to improve the quality of the multi-view range image integration. The breast volume measurements of the developed system has been compared with that of the water displacement [30].…”

A multi-view three dimensional stereophotogrammetry system was developed to capture 3D shape of breasts for breast cancer patients. The patients had received immediate unilateral breast reconstruction after mastectomy by the extended latissimus dorsi flap and without contra-lateral surgery. In order to capture the whole breast shape including the infra mammary fold, the patients were introduced to the imaging room and leaned over the imaging rig to open up the infra mammary fold and to expose the entire area of each breast. The imaging system consisted of eight high-resolution (4504 × 3000 pixels) digital cameras and four flash units. The cameras were arranged in four stereo pairs from four different view angles to cover the whole surface of the breasts. The system calibration was carried out ahead of every capture session and the stereo images were matched to generate four range images to be integrated using an elastic model proposed. A watertight breast mesh model was reconstructed to measure the volume of the breast captured. The accuracy of using the developed multi-view stereophotogrammetry system for breast volume measurement was 11.12cc with SEM 7.74cc, comparing to the measurements of the water displacement method. It was concluded that the 3D stereophotogrammetry image system developed was more reliable than the method of water displacement.

The main objective of this study is to develop a single-camera unit-based three-dimensional surface imaging technique that could be used to reduce the disparity error in three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction and simplify the calibration process of the imaging system. The current advanced stereoscopic 3D imaging system uses a pair of imaging devices (e.g., complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) or charge-coupled device (CCD)), imaging lenses, and other accessories (e.g., light sources, polarizing filters) and diffusers.) To reconstruct the 3D scene, the system needs to calibrate the camera and compute a disparity map. However, in most cases in the industry, a pair of imaging devices is not ideally identical, so it is a necessary step to finely adjust and compensate for camera orientation, lens focal length, and intrinsic parameters for each camera.More importantly, conventional stereoscopic systems may respond differently to incident light reflected from the target surface. It is possible for the pixel information in the left and right images to be slightly different. This results in an increase in disparity error, even though the stereovision system is calibrated and compensated for rotation and vertical offsets between two cameras. This thesis aims to solve the aforementioned challenges by proposing a new stereo vision scheme based on only one camera to obtain target 3D data by 3D image reconstruction of two images obtained from two different camera positions.iii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my family, who always supports me and prays for my success.
